Alcoholic Cocktail Collins Glass 4 ingredients

Recipe

  • 1/4 oz Grenadine Syrup
  • 1 oz Watermelon Pucker Schnapps
  • 1 oz Midori Melon Liqueur
  • Soda (Lemon Lime)

Instructions

Maxaemillion Capone created this drink in Los Angeles, California to celebrate Cinco De Mayo. It has gained popularity in Hispanic clubs because of its delicious taste, resemblance to the Mexican flag and unique method of consumption. Pour the Grenadine into a collins glass THEN add ice. Swirl the Grenadine to chill it, so it stays on the bottom during the build. Pour in the Dekuyper Watermelon Pucker Schnapps. Carefully add Soda (Lemon Lime) (or Soda (Lemon Lime) or Energy Drink (Red Bull)) to create a clear layer in the middle. Layer the Midori on top. The drink now looks like the Mexican flag. Place in straw but DO NOT STIR. The preferred consumption method is known as "Melon picking." The drinker (often female) sucks on the straw and pulls it up from the bottom so all the flavors individually flow quickly through the straw.

About Cesar Chavez

The Cesar Chavez cocktail is a vibrant and refreshing drink that combines the sweet and fruity flavors of watermelon and melon with a hint of tartness from grenadine syrup. The drink features 1/4 oz of grenadine syrup, which adds a beautiful red hue and a touch of sweetness, paired with 1 oz of Watermelon Pucker Schnapps and 1 oz of Midori Melon Liqueur, both of which contribute to the cocktail's luscious, fruity profile. Topped with a splash of lemon-lime soda, this cocktail offers a crisp, effervescent finish that makes it perfect for a warm day or a festive gathering.

The origins of the Cesar Chavez cocktail are not widely documented, but its name suggests a tribute to the influential labor leader and civil rights activist, Cesar Chavez. The drink's lively and colorful presentation may symbolize the vibrancy and spirit of the communities Chavez advocated for. While it may not have a long-standing history, the cocktail's refreshing and sweet flavor profile makes it a delightful addition to any cocktail menu, celebrating both the legacy of its namesake and the joy of a well-crafted drink.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Collins Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
